Recent Île-de-France Reviews

We had an absolutely lovely stay and couldn't have asked for a better location. We loved that we were in walking distance to the Seine, Tuileries and Louvre (across the street)! Cafes, bakeries and ATMs just around the corner. The apartment is spacious and clean. We loved having a place to come back to and drop off our things, spread out and rest before heading out again. Lots of windows and natural light. Quiet neighbors all around and tucked back in the courtyard away from traffic noise. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Echoing other reviews listed below, Loic did an excellent job designing, updating and modernizing this studio is what is an older building. It was a comfortable quiet space for two and an excellent location for accessing the Metro, taxi's, grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants. It was also nice to have a number of English speaking channels available with his cable service when we were resting our weary feet. We will recommend to others and stay there again. Just a couple of items, the bed had a fitted sheet but not a top sheet, so a top sheet would be a nice addition. Also, we could not locate the light switch to light the hallway after entering the building and had to use a cell phone light to get up the short flight of stairs to hit the light switch next to the apartment's front door.

The apartment is in an ideal location in Paris for visitors - it's easy walk to the Luxembourg Gardens and Sorbonne, and even the Eiffel Tower and Seine are easy to reach. The street has lots of shopping on it as well as a bakery and Chinese take out place. There's also the Parisian Velib bikes if you want to pedal around Paris - we did it with our teens and had a blast, even if we got lost. The flat is surprisingly calm and quiet however (it probably helps that there's not a lot of thru-traffic on the street). It was as we expected from the listing description and photos. We were provided with dish soap and a sponge, mini shampoos and soaps, TP, paper towels and bath towels. My only suggestion would be to also supply coffee filters and laundry detergent in addition to the other basics. The place was very clean which was important to my wife who has severe dust allergies. Well worth the money (and the money we saved had we decided to splurge on a hotel in the same district).
